Why Buy?

The SafeAwake combines two patented technologies - sound reception and tactile emergency signal generation - into the SafeAwake receiver. This creates a nighttime safety notification device that contains the fastest and most reliable sound reception when a smoke alarm activates and the only tactile notification emergency signal that uses an intermittent pattern to awaken sleeping people.

The SafeAwake is not a smoke/fire detection system. It must be used in conjunction with a standard smoke alarm, the type required by most building codes and local ordinances. The SafeAwake is triggered by the audible signal a smoke alarm emits when it detects smoke. Be sure to use your SafeAwake in tandem with your regular smoke alarm.

Is the SafeAwake made in the U.S.A.?

Please note: SafeAwake is not a fire detection system. It must be combined with an approved, properly installed and operating smoke alarm.The SafeAwake saves sleeper's lives through an additional means of fire notification which has been proven more effective.
